Chapter 546: 473 The Freest City_2
"[Holy Rite·Aurora]."
When Reiger chanted this magic, streams of meteor-like flashes began to gather and appear around him.
If Maya had been there, to see Reiger perform [Holy Rite·Aurora], she would have definitely been astonished, wouldn’t she?
Not because her magic had been stolen by Reiger, but because in his hands, the magic exhibited a power far surpassing hers.
This could be seen from the flashes appearing around Reiger.
They were numerous and incredibly dense, easily gathering in the hundreds.
Each of their scales had been expanded, and if Maya’s flashes were to be likened to laser beams, then Reiger’s were veritable beams of pure light.
Hundreds of meteor-like beams of light hovered like spears of light behind Reiger, and for a moment, they nearly filled the space behind him.
"————!"
It was not known how many times Altoria had been rendered stupefied by Reiger’s magic, as she stood there, dumbfounded, watching the dense swarm of floating beams, feeling a tingling sensation in her scalp.
In such a state, Reiger began firing.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang —!"
Across the vast plains, meteor-like flashes appeared without any sign, shooting out as if they were cosmic beams from the sky, furiously pounding the ground.
Explosions and roars resounded continuously.
Dust and debris swirled up like a dust storm.
The ground shook, the air wailed, and it was as if thunder had struck the clear sky, continuously igniting explosions and setting off blast winds.
Faintly, even amidst those sounds, two voices could be heard, one following the other.
"It seems like it was a bit too much."
This was a calm voice.
"What do you mean ’seems’? It was definitely too much!"
This was an agitated voice.
As these two voices rang out, the relentless bombardment finally came to a stop.
The blast wind, carrying dust and debris, blew towards the distance, revealing a pockmarked and uneven terrain where once there had been grassy plains.
As for those poor moles, not even ashes remained; they had vanished without a trace.
And standing in front of this pockmarked land, coated in dust, her clothes in complete disarray, Altoria finally showed a look of complete breakdown.
"What’s wrong?"
Reiger, seemingly completely unaware, asked Altoria, puzzled.
Altoria struggled for a long time before she managed to utter a sentence.
"You be the Chosen Child of Prophecy, I beg you."
What Altoria didn’t know was that in the eyes of the country’s elite, Reiger had long been deemed the Chosen Child of Prophecy.
On the other hand, Altoria, the true Chosen Child, wasn’t even half mentioned by Woodworth.
Clearly, facing Reiger, a formidable enemy, Woodworth had completely forgotten the less conspicuous Altoria.
It was truly a sad thing to say.
...
In the natural wilds of Fairy Country Britannia, not only do moles occasionally appear, but various kinds of wild beasts and magical beasts also emerge.
There’s no helping it; who asked for this island to be a country founded by naturally mystical fairies?
On this island, the mystical forces are much thicker than in the outside world. Here, streams of magical creatures, difficult to encounter in the outside world, appear, not to say everywhere, but they certainly occur from time to time.
The day he traversed through Dimensional Travel to this world, Reiger found that the atmosphere seemed mixed with something that could activate the Magic Power within him, a clear sign of the denseness of the mystical forces in Fairy Country compared to the outside world.
Here, Magic Power becomes exceedingly active; if one can perfectly control it, it might enhance the potency of the magic or magic spells one performs.
Here, most abilities have a chance of being enhanced, as long as they don’t conflict with the local mystical system.
Of course, every advantage has its drawback.
Medicines with potent effects, if consumed excessively, can also damage the human body, right?
Similarly, in a world pervaded with mysticism, ordinary humans either adapt to the environment to survive or subtly undergo some mutations or even diseases due to the changes.
Humans within Fairy Country Britannia are mostly the former, hence their physical abilities are generally stronger than those of typical humans.
And if a human from outside Fairy Country Britannia were to venture here, they might just fall because they couldn’t adapt to the environment.
Fortunately, Reiger was not among them.
With his "Abnormal Resistance" ability and skills to avoid mental and physical interference, even without these, as a being who had been invested with Divine Blood from his weak human times and marked with God’s grace, he surely wouldn’t succumb to the mere influence of thickened Magic Power.
Now at Lv.7, Reiger’s physical constitution alone far surpassed that of ordinary humans, not to mention the essence of grace, which elevates and progressively draws one closer to the deities.
Thus, with his current level and capacity of his "vessel," not only could he withstand the fairy-occupied Britannia, but even if he entered the legendary Inner Sea of the Star, he would be able to endure calmly.
